VA Senate Kills Intrastate Commerce Act Without a Vote

By on February 24, 2011 in Announcements, Big Government, Constitution, Delegated Powers, Elections, Federalism, Firearms Freedom Act, Originalism, Politicians, State Sovereignty

Another year, another trip to the Senate Death Star for the Intrastate Commerce Act (HB1438). Without even recording a vote, the elected “representatives” on the Senate Commerce and Labor Sub-Committee #1 left Virginia residents and businesses exposed to the economic and regulatory ravages of every federal agency from the EPA to the FDA to the BATF.

When will enough be enough for Virginia voters? Statewide elections in November…

Members of the C&L Sub-Committee #1 (who should be retired to private life in 2011)

Sen. Richard L. Saslaw (D) (804) 698-7535 district35@senate.virginia.gov (chairman)
Sen. John S. Edwards (D) (804) 698-7521 district21@senate.virginia.gov
Sen. A. Donald McEachin (D) (804) 698-7509 district09@senate.virginia.gov
Sen. Thomas K. Norment, Jr. (R) (804) 698-7503 district03@senate.virginia.gov

Pair of Ky. bills challenging federal coal regulations clear committee

By on February 18, 2011 in Announcements, State Sovereignty

Two bills written to shield the Kentucky coal industry from overreaching federal regulation passed out of committee Thursday, one in the House, the other in the Senate.

A bill that would exempt Kentucky coal mines and coal alteration facilities that mine or alter coal in Kentucky for exclusive use within the Commonwealth from requirements of the Clean Water Act unanimously passed out of a House committee.

HB421 declares that Congress has no authority to regulate intrastate commerce.

Section 1 of the Constitution of Kentucky recognizes that citizens of the Commonwealth have certain inherent, inalienable rights, including the right of enjoying and defending their lives and liberty and the right of pursuing their safety and happiness, which may not be infringed by Acts of Congress that lack constitutional authority.

VA Intrastate Commerce Act up for key vote tomorrow

By on February 14, 2011 in Activism, Announcements, Commentary, Constitution, Federalism, Firearms Freedom Act, Founding Principles, Government, Nullification, Politicians, Sovereignty Movement, State Sovereignty

Last year in Virginia, activists scored a big victory for the Tenth Amendment with the passage of HB10, the Health Care Freedom Act, but they also suffered a significant defeat. The Firearms Freedom Act (FFA), which forbid the federal government from enforcing its gun regulations on weapons and ammunition made and sold exclusively in Virginia, passed the House of Delegates in 2010 only to be killed in the Senate’s notorious ”Death Star” sub-committee.

The siginifcance of the FFA was of course not just about firearms freedom. It was also about the precedent such a law would have set for returning the federal government to its constitutional role, and restoring some measure of state sovereignty. Unfortunately, by killing the bill, a tiny minority of Virginia Senators left the entire commonwealth open to federal attack on issues that go well beyond gun control, up to and <a href="http://www.tent Continue Reading →

By on September 28, 2010 in Announcements, Nullification

Be sure to attend the great Nullify Now event scheduled for October 10 in Orlando.  I’ll be speaking, as will Gary Johnson (former governor of New Mexico), and many others.  Will be a great time — well, for people with open minds, that is.  The “shut up and obey” crowd won’t like it much.

Visiting (Radical) Wisconsin

By on August 27, 2010 in Announcements

Wisconsin is the state that most defiantly nullified the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 (as I discuss in Nullification), quoting the Kentucky Resolutions of 1798 and 1799 in its defense; today it’s the headquarters of the Bring the Guard Home movement.  Wisconsin Public Radio interviewed me for an hour about Meltdown and for another hour about Nullification, and I was treated rather better than leftists would likely have been treated on many right-wing programs.

This Saturday I’ll be in Eau Claire (not far from Minnesota) for the day, beginning with a book signing open to the public and continuing with a dinner, talk, and after-party.  Hope to cause some mischief.
